Chantillie is English, French in Origin.

Chantillie is a modern given name drawn from the French place-name Chantilly, a commune north of Paris famed for its delicate black lace and crème Chantilly (sweetened whipped cream). As a personal name it carries the sense “from Chantilly,” with overtones of elegance, refinement, and sweetness. Despite the similarity to French chant (“song”), its roots lie in the toponym rather than in music.

Use as a first name arose principally in English-speaking countries in the late 20th century, likely buoyed by cultural echoes such as the 1958 hit “Chantilly Lace.” It remains rare and stylistically ornamental, chosen more for imagery than for traditional saintly or biblical associations. Variants include Chantilly (standard French form), Chantille, Chantilli, and phonetic spellings like Shantilly/Shantillie; it is sometimes mistaken for Chantelle/Chantal, which are etymologically unrelated.
